Co Kildare: from €230,000: Houses and apartments at Hazelhatch near Celbridge, Co Kildare go on sale this weekend through Coonan Real Estate Alliance. This is phase two at Hazelhatch Park and show units will be open for viewing.
Aimed at first-time buyers, prices start at €230,000 for 12 good-sized two-bedroom apartments of 75sq m (810sq ft). Thirty-eight three-bed townhouses of 98sq m (1,055sq ft) cost from €290,000. These will be ready in three months, say the selling agents.
The location is good for city commuters, a left turn before the narrow bridge into Celbridge and about half a mile from Hazelhatch train station. Developer Maplewood has a strong record in housebuilding in the area, with Ballyowen Hall and Liffey Valley Park in Lucan among previous projects.
Exteriors are a mix of red and gold brick and render, with brick walls dividing the townhouses. The two-bedroom apartments are in three-storey blocks, with good sit-out balconies. Kitchens are Shaker-style and allowances are given for wall tiling in kitchens and bathrooms. Fitted wardrobes are also provided.
Townhouses also come with Shaker-look kitchens, wardrobes and tiling allowances. Some have front driveways and all have town-sized back gardens which will be seeded.
